Bottom set

Shanemex · #1 02-16-2005, 08:31 PM

Should I have folded on the turn, or maybe checked behind on the river? I had a feeling I was behind, but then UTG+1 just called the raise and checked the river instead of moving all-in.

The converter screwed up and omitted some parts of the hand so I entered them manually, so they may look a little weird.

folding set on drawless board is way too weak tight

At the risk of someone pointing out any bad plays I made-

Thank you for your chips, they helped me win that one [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You were just unlucky.

There is no such thing as "bottom set." Repeat this to yourself until you can't take it anymore.

You need to get ALL your money in the pot, in any way you think you can do it... especially with an ace on the board.

I'm standing on the edge of the table with a shovel dumping my chips into this pot.

In my opinion, this is like losing with KK to AA. All your chips are going into the middle with KK and if he has AA, so be it.

Your "bottom set" will win MUCH more often then it will lose. Especially with that friendly flop.
